I wonder if the new displays will involve the technology that Senseg in Finland were working on. It's not haptic, but some kind of film that is touch-sensitive and produces electrical virtual buttons, etc. This film is supposedly very inexpensive to produce and program. It was speculated it could be used for buttons on touch screens, so why not Braille? Pure speculation, of course.Teresa
